clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Creates a copy of this bounding box.

Specified by:
clone in class Bounds
Returns:
a new bounding box

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object bounds)
Indicates whether the specified bounds object is equal to this BoundingBox object. They are equal if the specified bounds object is an instance of BoundingBox and all of the data members of bounds are equal to the corresponding data members in this BoundingBox.

Specified by:

Returns a hash code value for this BoundingBox object based on the data values in this object. Two different BoundingBox objects with identical data values (i.e., BoundingBox.equals returns true) will return the same hash code value. Two BoundingBox objects with different data members may return the same hash code value, although this is not likely.
